I want to watch a funny movie but I feel like compared to TV shows, movies rarely make me really laugh. I've cried laughing watching shows like I Think You Should Leave but most movies I can honestly say I've only ever mustered a chortle or snort every now and then. What is the funniest movie(s), to you? For me, just off the cuff, I'd probably have to say Airplane!
whomst amongst us has not seen the towering inferno? the disaster movie bits track if you've seen more recent disaster films tho, the genre has not evolved a milimeter, lol.
Airplane is a parody of the endless parade of Airport movies that was inflicted on the American public in the 1970s. The entire low quality made-for-TV-movie genre has completely disappeared, the disaster subgenre along with it, satirizing it makes no impact today.
Meanwhile I have never seen any of those movies and I find Airplane! hilarious.
9/11 kind of killed the obnoxious airport movie, but they kept making disaster movies up till like an hour ago.
Actually it's a 1:1 parody of 1957 disaster flick Zero Hour
